Ukrainian Strike on Tver Region to Significantly Impact Russian Front Lines, Says Estonian Intel
The Estonian General Staff has stated that Russia's loss of a significant amount of ammunition during the Ukrainian strike on the settlement of Toropets in the Tver region will impact the front lines in the coming weeks.
As reported by ERR, this was mentioned at a press conference by Colonel Ants Kiviselg, head of the Defense Forces' Intelligence Center of Estonia.
Kiviselg commented on the successful strike by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Russian ammunition depot in Toropets. He noted that Ukraine managed to hit the storage facility while some of the ammunition had not yet been stored in bunkers, leading to a chain reaction of explosions.
"Thirty thousand tons of ammunition exploded, which equals 750,000 shells. At the average pace of combat operations, Russia fires about 10,000 shells per week. This means a two- to three-month supply of ammunition. As a result of this attack, Russia has suffered ammunition losses, and we will see the consequences of this loss on the front lines in the coming weeks," Kiviselg stated.
The attack on the ammunition depot near the city of Toropets in Russia's Tver region was carried out by drones from the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), the Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR), and Special Operations Forces.
